Burda Style For people who sew
 "Pin It")
Description
Found this tutorial and finally finished it

This was about my 3rd sewing project ever made!
Next time, I would sew on the leather bottom before sewing the rest of the bag, and use another faux leather type other than vinyl leather.
Took about a whole day
Hubby said it could have been a bit smaller and having inside zippered pockets would have been great (next time I guess)
He also has another website with a bag that I MUST make:
